A long time ago, when he was learning how to cook, his grandma was helping him fill the pressure cooker.
"You like these things." She said. Motioning towards the pressure cooker.
"Its great, it cooks so fast, and you just leave it alone."
The grandma looked at it wearily.
"Its good for some things, but not everything. And besides you got to be careful. Too much pressure and it will go."
"I know, I know, mom always says that."
"Its the same with you you know."
The kid turned to her.
"You put too much pressure on yourself, its the same."

The kid watched the black car drive away fast. While turning left, it went over the curve so it bounced a little.
Too much pressure the kid thought, something's gunna go. He looked to the other side of the hotel. The older couple.
"I can explain Shelly c'mon."
"Tom you killed a man. I saw you with my eyes you killed a man." She said.
While they were far he could hear everything. They were yelling.
"You have to go to the police."
"It was for our protection. Just relax, lets go back inside."
"Inside they were right next to our room. They're probably coming back. We have to leave."
She said, and Tom knew she was right.
